Superior Matrix is a three-dimensional anatomical anterior clear matrix system.
Superior Matrix IS DESIGNED INDIVIDUALLY ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFIC ANATOMICAL features OF THE MESIAL AND DISTAL PARTS OF THE maxillary CENTRAL, LATERAL AND CANINE TEETH.
Superior Matrix shapes the resin composite in the form of primary, secondary and tertiary anatomical features in a single step.
Superior Matrix's clinical applications include complex Class III cases, Class IV cases, fractured teeth, restoration of peg lateral teeth, composite veneer and diastema closure restorations.
Advantages
No Sculpting Resin Composite
Superior Matrix significantly helps the dentist in shaping the missing walls in anterior restorations, creating developmental lobes, developmental grooves and perichymeta lines on the composite during the placement of the composite.
No Lab is Required
Superior Matrix eliminates laboratory procedures and the use of silicon index in cases requiring silicon index. Superior Matrix provides the opportunity to complete cases that require at least two sessions in a single session.
3D Realistic Anatomical Design
The design of Superior Matrix shapes the restoration material in the form of primary, secondary and tertiary anatomical structures of anterior teeth in the anterior restoration. In this way, it ensures that the composite is shaped in an ideal form in the undercut areas below the equator line of the tooth, such as the gingival embrasure and the exit profile.
Inhibits Oxygen Inhibition Layer
Since Superior Matrix covers the outer surface of the resin composite, it prevents the formation of an oxygen inhibition layer on the surface during the polymerization of the outer surface of the composite. The absence of an oxygen inhibition layer positively affects the long-term color stability of the restoration.
Applicable with Materials You Use Routinely
You can use Superior Matrix with the anterior resin composites you use in your clinical routine. You can make multi-shade restorations by using the Superior Matrix with the layering technique. Once the composite has polymerized, it does not stick to the Superior Matrix and is easily removed.
Thin – Rigid Structure
Superior Matrix is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), not celluloid, thus it has a thin (0.1 - 0.07 mm) but rigid structure. In this way, it allows even large restorations to be made without distorting the anatomical shape.
Ideal Palatinal Adaptation
Thanks to the realistic anatomical design of Superior Matrix, it is easy to restore the palatal wall and dental embrasure in the desired form, which is difficult for dentists.
Patient Comfort
Unlike sharp-edged metal bands, Superior Matrix causes less soft tissue injury and discomfort thanks to its flexible structure that minimizes contact with the soft tissues around the teeth.
Indications
You can use Superior Matrix for Diastema closure, restoration of wedge laterals, Class IV restorations and restoration of broken teeth. Click to view Superior Cases where Superior Matrix is used. Click here.
